description The research examines the relationship between the degree of visual complexity and the purchase intention of Chinese consumer towards Chinese domestic luxury fashion brands. The study explores the shifting consumer preferences towards local luxury brands. The research aims to addresses a significant gap in the existing literature, specifically the limited study and understanding of how visual complexity impacts the purchase intentions of Chinese luxury fashion brands. It centres on a key element of brand identity, particularly the logomark—to investigate how the visual complexity of Chinese cultural elements affects processing fluency and, in turn, influences consumer purchase intention. The study is grounded in processing fluency theory and examines how the visual complexity of Chinese cultural elements impacts processing fluency (both perceptual and conceptual), the moderating role of prior exposure on this relationship, and the mediating effect of processing fluency on the purchase intention of Chinese luxury fashion items.
